The Real Reason Take Profit Trader (TPT) Bans for Spoofing (Straight from the CEO)
A lot of traders complain that prop firms like Take Profit Trader (TPT) ban accounts for "spoofing" over just 1 or 2 small MNQ contracts. It feels unfair, right?But the CEO of TPT recently cleared this up on a podcast, and the reality is completely different from what people think. It’s not about your position size; it is about a specific rule from the CME.
**What Traders Think Spoofing Is vs. What It Actually Is
The Myth:**
You only get flagged if you trade massive size (like 1,000 contracts), or you got banned just for cancelling one small MNQ order.The Reality: The CME does not care if you are trading 1 MNQ or 1,000 MNQ. They care about your intent and your order-to-fill ratio.
The 75% Rule Explained:
According to the TPT CEO, the CME directly told them how they flag spoofing violations: The Threshold:
If you cancel 75% or more of the total orders you place in the market, you get flagged. The Consequence: The CME forces TPT to enforce these rules. If TPT ignores it, the CME comes down hard on the prop firm itself. The Takeaway: It is not TPT being greedy or malicious. They are just passing down compliance rules enforced by the actual exchange to protect their own brokerage access.
Are six-figure payouts realistic on TPT for regular traders (non-influencers)?
Hey guys,We all see big affiliates like Lanto Trades getting approved for $200k single payouts and million dollars lifetime payouts. It makes for great marketing, but I want to know the experience of the everyday profitable trader.If you don’t have a large public profile or affiliate link:
-What is the largest single payout you've had approved?Have any non-influencers hit $500k+ lifetime withdrawals here?
Just trying to gauge the true ceiling for a normal retail trader with TPT.
Appreciate any insights!
1 million dollars payout possible?
Is it possible for a regular guy (not an influencer) to able to withdraw 1 million dollars from TPT. Not at once but overall. Has anyone done it other than lanto(influencers)?
